The Xerox 1000, which was launched last year, can print up to 100 A4 pages per minute on a maximum sheet size of 330x488mm. It can handle stocks ranging from 55-350gsm.

The manufacturer has pitched the models at the production of applications including flyers, newsletters, brochures and variable data documents.

The Colour 800/1000 machines now offer its Automated Color Quality Suite (ACQS), which is a set of software tools driven by the printer's inline spectrophotometer. According to Xerox, this helps to automate colour management tasks with minimal operator involvement.

Xerox has also added an in-line perfect binder to the machine's range of finishing options, which enables users to produce full-colour bound books using the press.

Available in the fourth quarter of 2011, it also offers a manual mode for operators to bind book blocks and covers printed on other machines.

Herts Display became the first european customer of the Xerox Color 1000 after investing in two presses at Ipex last year.
